all i can say is X-Box owns joo,  naw just kiddin, it depends what you want... a friend of mine (who wants to stay nameless)  got himself a modded x-box (i mod my car he plays on computers and video game systems),  anywayz now he just downloads games and burns them onto dvd's  never will have to buy a game again,  its pretty tight.  they say that its possible to run linux on a microsoft x-box.  wouldn't that just be ironic.
